Volley For a Cure

Saturday Andy and I played on my sister-in-law's team for Volley for a Cure held at North Shelby. We had a blast but I realized I am out of shape so I began my pilates work outs with Denise Austin on dvd. Needless to say I am extremely sore, but if I can get back into shape it will be worth it!

The Volley for a Cure was a blast, even though we lost our first two games I really enjoyed it and plan to attend next year's event! Wish we did this in the spring and fall!! They also had very good food so if you haven't gone before you should plan to attend next time!

Tomorrow I am having surgery bright and early in Columbia to remove a lump on my back. They said it's just a lipoma but it will go to pathology after it's removed. I'm a little nervous but ready to just get it over with and I'm hoping that recovery isn't too laid back so I can spend lots of time outside with the kids this week and continue my working out. (Yep, despite my soreness I did pilates again this afternoon!)

My kids are doing pretty good, Emma's cough is still hanging on so I hope she will get better soon. Emma and Weston have been doing pretty good with their toddler beds overall, nap time is the hardest so far so I'm hoping as we move toward summer they will e more tired and more willing to take a nap! =)

Big Boy/Big Girl Beds & Our 4 Year Anniversary

Well, Friday Weston finally received his master climber award as he flawlessly climbed out of his crib and did so at least two more times on Saturday. In an effort to try to keep accidents down, we switched their cribs to toddler beds today. I can say I'm less than thrilled that they can get up whenever they want and I'm nervous as to what the night will bring. I knew it had to happen sooner or later, but I was hoping for later.

Nap time today went okay, Emma ended up going to sleep on her own in bed which didn't really surprise me, she fights going to sleep less than Weston. Weston had to lay with me and then I put him in his own bed, so I'm hoping this will all work out alright!

Thursday marked mine and Andy's 4 year wedding anniversary. We didn't do anything to celebrate until Saturday night, we went out to Kobe's in Columbia for a wonderful dinner and went to the new Cody's for a short time to enjoy playing pool and some dancing. It was an absolutely wonderful evening! We had even went out Friday night as well to celebrate Andy's cousin, Jared, surprise 30th Birthday Party so it was an eventful weekend!

I'm glad to see the snow is gone and hoping it will stay that way until next Christmas. I'm looking forward to spring and especially summer as I'll be home with the kids everyday and we can just enjoy the great outdoors! Spring break is only a couple of weeks away which is so exciting. Once we get back school will nearly be over for the semester, then only one semester of driving back and forth to Columbia!!

I cannot believe how quickly my children have grown. They are amazing! Some days are trying more than others, mostly days when they fight a lot, but other days have less fighting and are really good days. They are ready to be able to go outside and burn energy that they just can't seem to get rid of when they're indoors! I'm so excited that they are older and will be able to do more this summer, I think they'll have so much fun!

Well, I suppose I should go, it's later than I thought thanks to daylight savings time so in the words of the Truman show in case I don't see you later, good morning, good afternoon and good night!

Family Pictures

Anyone who thinks it's easy to get two two-year-olds to smile pretty for camera may be crazy, but nevertheless, the kids did a good job and we ended up with some good pictures after all.

It seemed that if one of the kids was doing good the other was not, and when we were trying to get individual pictures they were too busy trying to figure out what the other one was doing to

want to do what we asked of them. Whew, I hope this gets easier as they get older! Haha!
